Royals Take World Series Lead With 3-2 Win Over Giants At AT&T Park
They even looked comfortable in the tricky territory at unfamiliar AT&T Park.
Jeremy Guthrie outpitched fellow World Series newcomer Tim Hudson, four Royals relievers combined on four hitless innings and Kansas City beat the San Francisco Giants 3-2 on Friday night for a 2-1 lead in the Fall Classic.
Alex Gordon hit a run-scoring double for his first hit of the Series in 10 at-bats, and Lorenzo Cain added an RBI and some slick defense in right field as the Royals backed Guthrie with nifty glove work.
Eric Hosmer had a sixth-inning RBI single in an 11-pitch at-bat for his first World Series hit — on his 25th birthday.
Game 4 is Saturday night, with right-hander Ryan Vogelsong trying to get the Giants even against Kansas City lefty Jason Vargas.
